COMM 295 - Gender and Discourse

Type of Course: Seminar
Focuses on how cultural conceptions of gender guide language use for males and females and on ways in which discourse in its cultural context constructs gender. The implications for language use of ideology, enculturation and socialization patterns, dominance and inequality, and cultural diversity are considered. Both theory and research are covered and students conduct their own research projects. For undergraduate English majors and minors, this course satisfies the Theory or Criticism (D) requirement.
